Chapter 4- Jokes Help

Fred and George weren't the only new teachers. The past year, Professor Sprout retired and was replaced by Professor Eleanor Arial, a silly little girl in her twenties. From what Fred and George could tell, she never quite got anything right. Right after the beginning of term feast, Fred and George saw her coming up from the dungeons.

"Excuse me miss," George called out to her when they saw her.

"Oh, hello. I'm Professor Eleanor Arial. I'm the new herbology teacher, but it seems I can't find the proper classroom," she told them, acting just a bit nervous.

"That would in the green houses," Fred told her. Thanking them, she headed off up the stairs that led to the tallest tower. Fred and George shrugged and went up to their office on the second floor.

Their first class was going to be a class about how to fool the darkest of all wizards with jokes.

"The first step to trick a dark wizard is to identify how to trick them," George would say at the beginning of every class. "Some wizards are fooled by different things. Will you please come up here so we can demonstrate?" they said to Mathew Ferdinand during one class. He slowly stood up and walked to the front of the room.

"Mathew, tell us one way that you think you could easily trick us," Fred said to the young kid.

In a low voice that the student recently had found to be his own he said, "A distraction should make almost anyone vulnerable."

Fred and George looked at each other with evil grins. "Okay," said George. "Mathew and I are going to pretend we are in a duel. I am not going to attack but I want Mathew to distract me, giving him enough time to attack. Wands ready." They both raised their wands, Mathew to attack, George to defend. "Serpensortia!" Mathew shouted. A snake exploded out of the end of his wand. As soon as it hit the ground George shouted "Disaparo Incantato!" a purple stream of light came out of George's wand and made the snake disappear upon contact. Mathew was stunned at George's reaction speed.

"You see class," said Fred, "You need something that won't distract someone, but something that will hold their attention. Mathew, I'd like for you to try to defend me.

The two stood opposite each other and raised their wands. "Avado Kodavro!" Fred shouted. A beam of green light shot out of Fred's wand and vanished right before it hit Mathew. "Expelliarmus!" Fred shouted after it had vanished. The spell hit Mathew without much force but his wand went flying straight into Fred's hand. Mathew just stared at Fred, terrified. When Fred saw the rest of the class staring too, he said, "'Avado Kodavro' is not the spell that people call the killing curse but rather an imitation of it, designed to hold someone's attention long enough for the wizard to cast the disarming spell."

Suddenly, the door to the classroom opened, the whole class saw it. It was......

A/N: One of those extremely annoying cliff hangers. Sorry it took so long. Keep reviewing and remember to tune in next week, same bat-time, same bat- channel. (little a/n: that was a little joke for all you TV Land lovers. If you don't get, ask you're grandparents.)
